Carrying Concealed Weapons.

The attention of the New DoMIN-
ION has been frequently called to the
fact that many young men are in the
habit of carrying revolvers and other
weapons. The habit is very rep
rehensible one and one that makes
the offender liable to indictment.
At the request of one of the best cit
liens in Morgantown we append a
section of chapter CXLVIII of the
code for the information of those
who indulge in the practice:
7. If person carry about his per
son any revolver or other pistol,
dirk, bowie knife, razor, slung shot,
billy, metallic or other false knuckles,
or any other dangerous or deadly
weapon of like kind or character, he
shall be guilty of misdemeanor,
and fined not less than twenty five
nor more than two hundred dollars,
and may, at the discretion of the
court, be confined in jail not less
than one nor more than twelve
months; and if any person shall sell
or furnish any such weapon as is
hereinbefore mentioned to a person
whom he knows, or has reason, from
his appearance or otherwise, to be-
lieve to be under the age of twenty
one years, he shall be punished as
hereinbefore provided; but nothing
herein contained shall be so con
strued as to prevent any person from
keeping or carrying about his dwell
ing house or premises any such re
volver or other pistol, or from carry
ing the same from the place of pur-
chase to his dwelling house, or from
his dwelling house to any place
where repairing is done, to have ii
repaired, and back again. And il
upon the trial of an indictment for
carrying any such pistol, dirk, razor
or bowie knife, the defendant shall
prove to the satisfaction Of the jury
that he is q quiet and peacable citi-
zen, Of good character and standing
in the community in which he lives
and at the time he was found with
such pistol. dirk, razor or bowie
knife, as charged in the Indictment
he had good cause to believe and
did believe that he was in danger OF
death or great bodily harm at the
hands of another person, and that he
was, in good faith, carrying such
weapon for self-defense and for nc
other purpose, the jury shall find
him not guilty. But nothing in this
section contained shall be so con
strued as to prevent any officer
charged with the execution of the
laws of the State from carrying @
revolver or other pistol, dirk or bowie
knife.

An AttemDted Robbery.

A few days ago Owen Hawker, a
prosperous farmer of Grant district,
sold some of his cattle for which he
received about $500. A short time
after, the family went away from
home leaving the money unthought-
eddy in bureau drawer. In their
absence some scamp entered the
house and opened the bureau and
rumaged through one drawer getting
a small sum of money, and attempt
ed to open the drawer which con-
tanned the larger sum, but found It
locked. He got nail driving it in
to the lock breaking it hut before he
got the drawer opened was frighten-
ed away by neighbor who went to
the house on an errand. So far as
we can learn there is no clue to the
thief except that strange man was
seen in the neighborhood about the
time Of the occurrence.

THERE will be no excursion to
Fairmont next Sunday. Last Sun
day the enterprise was. failure,
only three tickets being sold from
this point. Quite a number of our
people would gladly have availed
themselves Of this opportunity, but
the new Superintendent was afraid
some one would find out there would
be an excursion on that day and he
concealed the fact so carefully that
no one knew it. Under the old re-
gime the NEW DOMINION would get
notice by telegraph, and the news
would be circulated and generally
it was very little trouble to get up a
large company.
KEEP your money at home. Pat
ronize those who patronize you.
Spend your money among your home
institutions, where you stand a
chance to get it back. Every dollar
you spend with stranger is gone
forever. Every dollar you spend
with a home man may find its way
back to your pocket. A dollar spent
in some other town goes to help
build up that town. A dollar spent
at home goes to help build up your
own town. Figure the thing down
as fine as you can and you lose
money buying away from home, if
you get the article for one half what
it cost you at home. Remember
this and act accordingly.
The people of South Morgantown
are ambitious to have a good road
or street betweenthe two creeks; and
this is a worthy ambition which
everybody else who travels that road
would like to see gratified. But un-
fortunately the money and labor be-
ing spent ON it are spent in vain.
The road does not get better but
worse-and why? Simply because
the water from the hill side which
bounds it on the east, is allowed to
run over or settle on the road bed.
1t seems to be a very plain PROPOSE
ton that the only way to make that
road good is to dig ditch along the
east side deep enough to intercept
the water from the hills, then round
the road up in the center and turn
the water that must cross the road,
into culverts-not open bitches.
This thing of digging open bitches
across road belong to past age.
1t is not practiced any more in civil
lied countries. 1t is barbarity
that any people ought to be ashamed
of. The Supervisor that would be
guilty of it ought to be indicted for
obstructing the public highway.

Was IT Suicide?

News of a distressing occurrence
comes to us from the head of Ten
Mile, in Harrison county. Mrs.
Mary A. Hall, widow lady resid-
ing on that stream, left her home on
Thursday of last week, the Sth inst,
to go to neighbours across an inter
yening hill. She did not return, and
upon investigation it was found that
she had not been seen by the family
she intended visiting. Search was
made and at 2 o'clock Friday morn
ing her dead body was found hang
ing from dogwood tree. We have
no additional particulars, and know
nothing of the probable causes lead
ing to the unfortunate woman s
suicide.-Inder.

The Unfortunate Irish.

To the Editor of the NEW DOMINION:
The recent arrests in Ireland but
prove that @History repeats itself"
Let any one revert to the history
of the eviction, trials and executions
following the so called rebellion OF
1893 and they will see just what is
in store for the poor, ignorant and
superstious Irish of the present day.
They will learn what the Irish never
have learned that after having paid
the exactions Of the priests they are
totally unable to pay those of the
landlords. Rest assured that the
fate Of the Wolf Tones, Emmets, and
their associates, will be that of the
O'Briens and Dayits, of the present,
era. AMERICAN.

A Painful Accident.

On Sunday evening our young
friend Charley Dering met with a
very serious and painful accident.
He with quite number of other
young folks drove to Mt. Morris on
Saturday to attend the centennial
celebration and stayed until late
Sunday evening. Charley took the
precaution, as the night was very
dark, to leave his buggy and come
home horseback. Notwithstanding
his care when near Bowlby's mill the
horse stumbled and fell throwing
him down so hard that his collar
bone was broken. He got into a
carriage with some of the other boys
and arrived at home without further
mishap though suffering much pain
from his wound. We hope to see
him round and sound again very
soon.

People Demand Protection Patent
Medicines.

What are they? AS a general
thing they are prescriptions having
been used with great success by old
and well-read Physicians. Thous-
ands of invalids have been unexpect-
edly cured by their use, and they
are the wonder and dread of Physi-
clans and Medical Colleges in the
U. S., SO much so, that Physicians
graduating at Medical Colleges are
required to discountenance Proprie-
tary Medicines, as through them the
country doctor loses his most profit
able practice. AS a manufacturer
of Proprietary Medicines, DR.. G. G..
Green, of Woodbury., N. j., advo-
Gates most cordially-in order to
prevent the risk that the sick and
afflicted are liable to almost daily
by the use of Patent Medicines put
out by inexperienced persons for ag-
grandizement only, and the employ
ing of inexperienced and incompe-
tent doctors by which almost every
village and town is cursed; and men
claiming to be doctors who had bet
ter be undertakers, experimenting
with their patients and robbing
them of their money and health
for the good of the afflicted that our
government protect its people by
making laws to regulate the prac-
tice of medicine by better expert
enced and more thoroughly educated
Physicians, and thereby keep up the
honor and credit of the profession
also form laws for the recording OF
recipes of Proprietary Medicines,
under examination and decision OF
experienced Chemists and Physi-
clans appointed for that purpose by
the government, before they are IL
censed for general use. He would
most freely place the recipe of Bos-
chee's German Syrup and Green's
August Flower under such laws, had
he the proper protection, and there.
by save the prejudice Of the people
and avoid the competition and imi
tation of worthless medicines.-Ch
